Chili and Cheese Ramen Wonder

Recipe:

3 packages Ramen noodles
2 15 oz cans chili
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
4-8 oz shredded cheese

Place about 6 cups of water in a three-quart casserole dish, and microwave on high for about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, crush the packages of noodles, slightly. Carefully open the noodles, and remove the seasoning packets, which you won't be using for this particular recipe. Carefully place the noodles in the casserole dish being sure to submerge all the bits, breaking them into smaller bits if necessary. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. Remove from microwave and drain well. Open the cans of chili and tomatoes (do not drain). Add tomatoes and chili to the noodles. Toss well. Replace cover and microwave on high for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and replace cover. Let stand until cheese melts. 

Tips: Use any kind of chili you like... With or without beans, vegetarian, spicy, milk, all good. Same thing with the cheese. Any kind will do. Even a few shakes of Parmesan cheese would be fab. 


My Interpretation: 

This recipe came off a food blog (Cooking with Joey) of a friend of a friend. The preparation time for this recipe is a surprising and convenient 10 minutes (approximately). It's a delicious and cheap meal for a college student or someone who does not have much time or money to eat. This recipe feeds about 5 people. So if you're the only one eating this, you'll have a healthy supply of leftovers, which can easily be heated up later on. This recipe may not be high class gourmet, but it's very tasty considering how simple it is. I would highly recommend this recipe to any fellow college students looking for something other than Easy Mac and normal Ramen. Enjoy!
